Which pair should open in the World Cup?

[Jersey #10]

thats freaking retarded. Sachin: dhoni shouldnt be the captain. Selectors: f off sachin

more like Pratibha Patil : F off Selectors

[Gunner_Mania]

you can sugarcoat it whichever way you like it, Sachin will decide where he bats in the India ODI & test team and thats that.

[Andy]

Right' date=' but that wasnt surely the only reason.[/quote'] That was Mate, His performance was awful for the last 1 Year. Just as it was for the Team .

Which pair should open in the World Cup? This is the topic guys :icflove:

He can buy the ground for all that matters. Dhoni can't piss in the Indian dressing room without Sachin's permission

He must have been a great bowler at the time because I know that he was horrible at batting and keeping for the first one and a half years.

With an Average of 31? :WTF: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/28081.html?class=2;filter=advanced;opposition=1;opposition=2;opposition=3;opposition=4;opposition=5;opposition=7;opposition=8;orderby=default;spanmax1=1+Sep+2007;spanmin1=1+Sep+2006;spanval1=span;template=results;type=allround EDIT : 33 For the Last 1 and Half years. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/28081.html?class=2;filter=advanced;opposition=1;opposition=2;opposition=3;opposition=4;opposition=5;opposition=7;opposition=8;orderby=default;spanmax1=1+Sep+2007;spanmin1=1+Mar+2006;spanval1=span;template=results;type=allround

Sachin has the powers to make Ravindra Jadeja captain instead of Dhoni. What do you have to say now? :P

[Shakthi]

There is Sachin after Dhoni in Indian team not the other way around Sachin has more powers than Dhoni.

[vaibhav_delhi]

only 5 Odis? Not good enough sample space....He was average pretty good overall at that time also. Here's a look at his test performances durin g that year http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/28081.html?class=1;spanmax1=20+sep+2007;spanmin1=02+sep+2006;spanval1=span;template=results;type=allround;view=match Saved 1 test match in england I remember during that series win.

no point arguing with a delusional person. so I'd say I believe you.:giggle:

[Andy]

^5 Odis? Have you checked the Link properly? And test performance? Dhoni was a Test performer then? Thats a news to me, he was Made Captain Not because of his performance, But for Goddy. And He was always known as a Good ODI Players rather a Test Player.

Let's look at two relationships here. Sonia Gandhi - Manmohan Singh: Manmohan Singh in this relationship is a Puppet. Sonia Gandhi is the real leader without any governmental authorities. Sachin Tendulkar - Mahendrasingh Dhoni.: Sachin Tendulkar in this relationship is Sonia Gandhi.

[Andy]

I dont want to argue, But Sachin Dhoni ka Baap hai, Dhoni is only a Chamcha compared to Sach.

May be they would have made him captain even if sachin hadnt said anything.

Exactly! Would BCCI make someone a captain after just 5 ODIs? NO. But when Sachin says, "Dhoni you are the new captain", BCCI members don't speak or think or see anything but sign the papers needed to make Dhoni the captain of team India.

Selectors are Puppets, They include Jadeja only for Dhoni.
